I walked into Kayes this morning, as I do regularly once a week. I carefully selected my groceries, wrote my check as usual, and much to my consternation, I was told that they do not accept out-of-town checks. I was told to use my debit card (which I do not have) from the same out of town bank. I have bought groceries once a week for almost 20 years from this store, even before it was Kayes. We have a home in West Monroe, Louisiana, and also a home in Winnsboro, La. I have no trouble buying groceries at WalMart, and then we wonder why big companies have the monopoly on business. They have no problems with check cashing.While I can understand the thinking behind this policy, I still feel that in the interest of your business, you might invest in the tools that would identify bad check writers.I do not like to shop for groceries at WalMart, but I cannot change my bank account just because of one policy.I was both humiliated and embarrassed. I might add that the little manager was extremely nice and polite, but he could not override the rules of the store.I guess I'll be shopping at WalMart from now on.
